Fasting and faint, she nerves her flag
Remembering the inevitable He'll.
Yet still her lovers voice she hears too we'll.
And Love. Love, Love-" she hears and

Bill Nye tells OF a gifted young man
just out of college who felt called upon
to start paper In a booming Western
town. Such noble young martyrs to
duty are by no means rare In this
great republic but this particular
martyr stands out in bold relief from
the rest as the author of tho following
brilliant covey OF metaphors found In
his salutatory "Our voice will ever be
heard in clarion tones putting Its
shoulder to the wheel OF progress, and
tramping on oppression with both
feet" We know that II Is not in NOR
tails TO command success, but We really
feel that this young man deserves it,

The following excellent d0ctfine 0c-
ours in President Cleveland's veto Of
the Texas relief appropriation bill: "I
can find no warrant for such an appro-
priation in the Constitution, and I do
not believe that the power and duty of
the general Government ought to be
extended to the relief of Individual suf-
feripg which is in no manner properly
related TO the public service or benefit.
A prevalent tendency to disregard tho
limited mission of this power and duty
should, think, be steadfastIy resisted,
to the end that tho lesson should be
constantly enforced that, though the
people support tho Government the
Government should not support tho
people"
